Fun at St. Anton

By Julia Mancuso, Special to Universal Sports

It was a blast to check out St Anton when I had some time off! There is such great skiing there, and its always nice to enjoy a bit of Austria off the race slopes.

I skied a few runs with my dad and it was pretty sweet, though the visibility was not great. We had to go with feeling on the way down which is always a bit of a bummer when you want to just let it rip! Especially with all the new snow!

Every year in St. Anton they do a show to celebrate the tradition of skiing in the Arlberg. It was cool to see all the different styles. They even brought out skis from 1900. That was cool to see the guys go down on the old stuff! It was classic seeing the ski instructors ski in formation too. It reminded me a lot of the movie hot dog, and the tradition of Austrian Ski Instructing was shining through at full force!  

Thanks St. Anton for showing me and my family a great time! We will definitely be back, and hoping for the races to be there again soon!

Happy New Year! xoxo Julia
